Health care districts: design-build process.
- Authorizes all California health care districts to use design-build contracts for hospital construction projects.
- Requires hospital construction projects to meet state seismic safety standards and inspections.
- Mandates board of director approval before a health care district can use the design-build process.
- Expands criminal penalties for false information submitted during the procurement process.
Assembly Member Flora's legislation expands design-build contracting authority to all California health care districts for hospital and health facility construction projects, broadening a procurement method previously limited to three specific districts. The measure permits district boards to utilize design-build procedures outlined in the Public Contract Code when contracting for new buildings or improvements directly related to health facilities.
The bill requires hospital construction projects using design-build to undergo review and inspection according to the Alfred E. Alquist Hospital Facilities Seismic Safety Act standards. It defines health care districts that own or operate hospitals or clinics as "local agencies" for purposes of applying design-build provisions, while maintaining existing verification requirements for contractors under penalty of perjury. The legislation preserves all other applicable laws and regulations governing health facility construction and procurement.
Currently, only the Sonoma Valley, Last Frontier, and Mayers Memorial hospital districts possess design-build authority for health facility projects. This measure extends those same contracting capabilities to all health care districts statewide, creating uniform procurement options across California's public health care system.
